retitle 16714 make check failures when ACLOCAL=aclocal is in environment tag 16714 = confirmed thankyou
looks like your redundant $ACLOCAL in the environment is breaking things. there should be no reason to have that: ACLOCAL=aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal that said, we shouldn't be blowing up with $ACLOCAL is set in the env. i can repro with that pretty easily under current git: ./configure make make check <no failures> ACLOCAL=aclocal make check <lots of failures>
